Budget Blinds
As the sales world motto goes, every successful business needs two out of three: a good price, a good product or good customer service, and Budget Blinds of Williamsburg delivers on all three!
Backed by a tight-knit team dedicated to providing the best customer experience, Budget Blinds offers:
- Blinds
- Shades
- Window Shadings
- Shutters
- Draperies & Side Panels
- Fabric & Wood Top Treatments
- Pillows
- Bedding
- And more!
Because most homeowners don’t typically purchase window coverings regularly, the Budget Blinds team gives free consultations, listening to the customer and advising on what will be the best fit. They also measure and handle the order and installation process, helping clients check off another item on their to-do list.
Co-Owner Rachelle Stannard has extensive experience in the window covering industry, participating in various aspects of the business. “I was doing it all,” she remarks, “including sewing my own window coverings and selling and installing along with my husband, Mark.”
A few years down the road, Rachelle received the opportunity to purchase the Budget Blinds franchise in Williamsburg, and after serious consideration, she took the leap, launching into her Budget Blinds journey. Partnering with Kevin Welsh, who brings 10 years of window-covering experience, and silent partner Sean Kosmann, an entrepreneur with more than seven years of franchise ownership, Rachelle and the team have expanded their Budget Blinds empire to several territories, including:
- Williamsburg
- Chesapeake
- Virginia Beach
- Norfolk
- Suffolk
- Little Creek
- The Oceanfront
- Hampton
- Newport News
“Once all the integrations were complete, we became one of the largest franchises in the country,” Rachelle says. “With the most awesome team, I might add!”
The leaders of Budget Blinds are devoted to encouraging and supporting their team, empowering them to “flourish and understand that they have their own path in life." Respect and accountability are core values that each team member implements, cultivating a family-like working environment.
Budget Blinds’ exemplary customer service and rave Google reviews averaging a 4.9 score, in addition to a steady flow of referrals and repeat business, serve as evidence of the commitment the team has to the company. The owners/leaders, organizers, marketers, salespeople and installers, each has an area of expertise that plays a part in providing the customer with well-executed, quality work.
Rachelle and the team are passionate about their work. “Our customers invite us into their homes to help them make decisions about how they spend their money on products that can directly impact how they live in and enjoy their homes,” adds Rachelle. “They trust us . . . and that’s the part we are passionate about.”
With a strong belief in giving back to the community, the Budget Blinds family volunteers at local charities. Even outside of work, they still spend time together, whether throwing axes or playing a game at Drive Shack.
“This is what success looks like,” Rachelle states. “Being a part of and standing beside a company of people who are the best at what they do and doing it for a community that we love and loves us back. We couldn’t ask for anything more.”
